Will Redmond

Mississippi State University
CB #2
6’1″ 186

Can run with quick receivers and doesn’t get out-muscled by bigger, more physical receivers

Tracks the ball well with solid hand-eye coordination

Mirrors receivers well and doesn’t allow himself to get beat over the top

Physical and aggressive but disciplined on double moves, play-action

Swift hips and rotates them quickly, allowing him to take better angles on ball carriers and get his body in position to play the ball in coverage

High football IQ, recognizes assignments in Zone

Explosive in jams

Not afraid to take on blockers

High motor; plays at the same speed all four quarters

Fearless

Cons:

Needs to vastly improve his tackling ability; puts head down and can’t see what he’s tackling, significantly improving his chance of injury

Doesn’t shed blocks well; tries to run around them rather than fight through them

Ankle bitter; doesn’t wrap up and will struggle against NFL backs with a combination of power and speed

Size and range aren’t desirable

Inconsistent when taking necessary angles to bring down ball carriers

Looks lost in space from time to time

Redmond is a great athlete and has potential to be a ball-hawking corner as he lead the Bulldogs in interceptions in 2014 with three. Unfortunately, Redmond tore his ACL in October and will likely fall in the draft. Redmond played in 20 career games with 74 total tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, seven pass breakups and three interceptions.
